Nico Williams

Recent reports from May 2026 suggest Liverpool could pursue a deal for a €60 million fixed fee plus €20 million in bonuses, below a reported €95 million release clause. In April 2026, a deal in the €80 million range was reportedly discussed with Liverpool, while Arsenal's interest was linked to a €90 million clause. Throughout early 2026, the release clause was consistently cited by various reports as being between €95 million and €100 million. In late 2025, offers of €70 million from Chelsea and Tottenham were mentioned. These figures followed a contract extension in July 2025, which reportedly increased his release clause from a widely cited €58-€60 million to the current €90-€100 million range.

Our valuation for Nico Williams is anchored by the new contract he signed in July 2025, which established a high release clause consistently reported between €90 million and €100 million. This figure sets the upper boundary of his value. However, more recent reports from late 2025 and early 2026 indicate a willingness from Athletic Club to negotiate, with potential offers and discussion points cited around €70 million, €75 million, and most recently €80 million. This suggests a likely transfer fee below the full release clause.
